Mike Tyson & His Wife Welcome Baby Number Eight

Written by Rob Soto on Jan. 29, 2011

Famed boxing legend Mike Tyson and his wife Lakiha Spicer recently introduced baby number eight. Their baby, named Morocco Elijah Tyson is the second child between Tyson and his wife Spicer. People Magazine reported that the baby was born in Henderson, Nevada and at birth, the baby weighed healthy 8 lbs, 13 oz. The baby measured 19 inches in length, according to the report.

Mike Tyson’s rep told People that, “He is such a sweet and calm baby. Mike and Kiki are overwhelmed with joy to welcome their son to the Tyson family.” Tyson and Spicer welcomed their first baby, Milan, two years ago. Tyson tragically lost his 4-year-old daughter to a domestic accident almost two years ago. The loss of Exodus was particularly very difficult for Tyson, who also found it very difficult to talk about it when he appeared on Oprah’s show.

Tyson is probably known as one of the most dreaded boxer on the planet. At one point, he famously bit the ear of Evander Hollyfield during a boxing bout. Mike Tyson was previously married to Robin Givens. After that marriage failed, he again married another star, Monica Turner but that marriage also failed. His other five children are; Rayna, Amir, Mikey, Miguel and D’Mato.
